Petersen, A., Stone, D.A. orcid.org/0000-0002-5770-3917 and Foster, M.P. (2017) On the impact of current generation commercial gallium nitride power transistors on power converter loss. Electronics Letters, 53 (22). pp. 1487-1488. ISSN 0013-5194
Abstract
The enormous potential benefits of gallium nitride based power switching devices, only commercially available very recently, in terms of power switching device loss are highlighted. This is first demonstrated through a simulated prediction of loss in multilevel converters, followed by experimental validation. While the simulations focus on losses in multilevel converters, the observations made are relevant in a broad range of applications.
